Very interesting observation Moose. At first glance the Gigapixel feels sharper
but there is added distortion. Sharp distortion does not make an image sharper,
just crisper. I was also looking at the reflection in the glass and how that
looks at the 2X.
Even if Gigapixel uses a neural net trained filter, it is still a form of
interpolation. A known PSAF - Point spread autocorrelaton function - for the
lens + system would be interesting to compare to, if it were available.
Which makes me wonder if certain lenses plus camera do better or worse with the
AI? Besides just the subject matter. Does that depend on what the AI filter was
trained on?
